Background
History
The building was originally constructed around 1860 as a 5-storey commercial warehouse. The cinema conversion was designed by William B Whitie, and utilised the basement to the second storey. The building was used as an amusement arcade before being reopened as the Classic Grand Live Music Venue. The interior, although badly damaged by a fire in 2001, retains some of its original Art Deco features. The structure has been protected as a category B listed building since December 1970.
